Be careful with Linux kernel code. It is GPL, where as eCos is a
modified GPL. If you use pure GPL code, your whole system becomes GPL
and then you need to do things like make all your source code
available to your customer.
Another thing to watch out for is that the sourceware ARM toolchain is
broken when used with jffs2. You need to use a newer version. If you
try to use the broken one you will get a #error when compiling.
